A viral photo of a Utah teenager’s prom dress labeled “cultural appropriation” in the U.S. has received a far different reaction in mainland China.

Keziah Daum, 18, sparked a flood a criticism on April 22 after posting images on Twitter to celebrate Woods Cross High School’s prom. Her traditional Chinese qipao, or cheongsam, prompted calls of racism and “cultural appropriation” by throngs across U.S. social media, but Weibo users had a very different perspective.

Some of the positive feedback was aggregated by The South China Morning Post on Tuesday.
